Strongmen of Old

After reading Dinosaur Training again this weekend in my sparetime, i decided to start researching some of these men he talks about (saxon/cyr/inch etc)…

well, i came across this amazing website and i just want to post it here for anyone that is interested:

sandowplus

they have all these books written by some of the strongest men ever (freely available). some of the information in them just blows my mind.

for example in saxon’s book development of physical power, he covers everything from diet/training methods/mental aspects… it is GOLD. this guy one handed snatched a 200lbs barbell, 370 or so in the bent press.

some of these guys had some insane physiques too, such as “hackenschmidt” … freakishly rugged

this info is the T-mag of the early 1900’s, so for any of you looking to get freakishly strong (like me) and havn’t read any of this, you should really check it out!

peace (now i return to reading every book on this site :slight_smile:
